Dark desire with Hades involved? (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

death wish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dark desire' is the definition.
'death wish' can be an answer for 'desire' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'dark' bit.

'with hades involved?' is the wordplay.
'involved?' indicates an anagram (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'with'+'hades'='withhades'
'withhades' is an anagram of 'DEATH WISH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for death wish that I've seen before include "Desire to pass on" , "Reason for very reckless acts?" , "destructive feeling" , "Desire for self-annihilation" , "Unconscious desire to end it all" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
